An idea obtains that we have less dig
nifty than our ancestors. Well, perhaps
we have; but if we take look backward
and read over the accounts of some of
their doings we will take courage and 60
on. Dignified they were, but their sense
OF the humorous was not cultivated to
the sharp point ours is. For instance, in
110S, on the Fourth Of July, Philadelphia
celebrated the ratification of the new
constitution by ten states as she this year
celebrated the hundredth anniversary OF
its adoption by the convention. 1t was
the most glorious demonstration to which
the new country had been treated up
to that time, and as a matter of course
1t left It's mark. Without doubt it was
spectacle well worth seeing. They went
into symbolism up to the neck Figurative
illustrations were numerous and looked
upon with serious interest and loyal en-
thusiasm. They had a procession-for
when have we celebrated without such
demonstration? And in that procession
the chief Justice OF the supreme court be-
strobe golden eagle high up in gilded
car, and nobody thought it was funny.
Indeed, it was regarded as impressive.
That chief justice may properly go down
in history as the original bird rider.
The celebration was such an overpower-
ing affair that the chairman Of the COM
mittee Of arrangements, Francis Hopkin-
son, who was also judge Of the admiralty,
wrote it up in detail for the newspapers
and olsO praSeryal M, ancNy1pf In, bio n1x-,,

Everybody got up early that morning.
Bells and cannon pealed and poured out
patriotic noise. And when the citizens
went down to the wharves to see the ten
ships that represented the ten ratifying
states, with their flying flags, this part
Of it was put down by Mr.. Hopkinson as
"a most pleasing and animated prospect"
which VIC dare not doubt.

sLION OF A ROYAL HOUSE.
A southerS Lawyer the Grandson Of
Louis XVI, of Z rance.

COLUMBIA, S. c., February Is
Col. James ii. Rion, one OF the most
distinguished lawyers at the South
Carolina bar, noted for being the
very soul of honor, died in Wins
borO, s. c., on December 18th. A
mystery always surrounded Col.
Rion's birth. When boy he came
from Canada to Washington, and
was Immediately taken under the
protection of John G. Calhoun, then
Secretary eff State under Presi lent
Tyler. Calhoun was very kind to
this boy and his mother. There
We're many speculations regarding
Col. Rion's origin, and the interest
taken in him by Calhoun could not
be accounted for. Just before his
death Col. Rion made statement to
his entire family and DR.. Han
ahan, and if true he had in his
veins the blood OF the Bourbons and
was descendant of st. Louis. He
was in perfect possession of his
reasoning faculties, and his family,
desiring to publish full statement
of the facts, have kept all this as
quiet as possible until today. The
substance Of Col. Rion's statement is
that he was the son of the Dauphin
of France, who would have been
King Louis XVII but for the revo.
luton. That this boy, the Dauphin,
who was reported to have died at an
early age and to have been an i'm
beetle, had not really died, but was
sent to Canada and there had been
reared under the name of De Riou;
that he entered the English army
and married Miss Hunter, Col.
Rion's mother. De Rion died in
Col. Rion's infancy, and he and his
mother were placed under the charge
of Mr.. Calhoun by the Austrian EN-
bassador at Washington with state
ment of the facts and upon
certain conditions. One of these
was that Rion should never 90
to Europe unless in charge of
the Austrian authorities and on an
Austrian msn- of-war, and further
that he should never accept civil Of
fee in this country. These condi-
tions we're faithfully observed. The
secret of his birth was told three
years ago to Col. Rion's eldest daugh-
ter, who went to Europe to fiud out
what she could about the Dauphin.
Col. Rion had in his possession
very valuable snuff box, set with dia-
monds on the top, of which there is
monogram of the Orleans family
wrought in diamonds. The snuff box
was never exhibited to any of the
Colonel's family until he was on his
deathbed.

BARRELS FROM PAPER PULP.
The Inventors shy That Marhh Grass
Gam he Used 60 manufact.
uro Them

New York Tribune. The growing
scarcity of the timber supply has
given rise TO the serious question OF
how to produce packages for OIL liz
uors aud similar substances which
will meet the demands of the market.
This question has at different times
times during the last twenty years led
to various attempts to produce a pa
per barrel which would answer all
the purposes for which the wooden
barrel is used. These attempts,
however, have boen attended with no
practical success until recently,
when a barrel was produced from
paper pulp which seems destined to
supersede the wooden article. Its
general appearance is that of the
common wooden barrel thickly var
nished, while only FIVE pieces are
used in making it. 1t is bound with
ordinary wooden hoops and the
head is of one piece, 80
constructed that it fits into
the barrel air tight and is held
firmly in place by hoop without the
use of nails, The body is seamless,
and the interior and exterior are
glazed with a substance which rem
ders the barrel impervious to moist
ure, so that liquids of all kinds can
be transported in it without loss. 1t
is also very strong and stiff, not cas-
lily broken, and as the nature of the
compressed paper is such that
neither dry or damp weather affects
it the contents retain all their arc
matte qualities. There are numer-
GUS other excelleutqu claimed
for this barrel, On January 18th,
Thomas DOugherty, the chief -four
inspector of the New York Produce
Exchange, certified that he had in
spect9d 100 barrels of -four which
had been shipped from distance in
these paper barrels, and had found
them to be all sound. II generally
happens that when -four is shipped
in wooden barrels that a quantity of
it Sits through the cracks whore the
slaves join and is lost. 1t was found
by weighing tho -four shipped in
paper barrels that none of it had
been lost in this manner. The pulp
used in the production Of
these barrels is ob,aioable from
any 6brous substance, aud
as there is hardly n locality
where some such substance does not
grow the barrels can be mauufaot-
ured almost anywhere. The bulk of
the wood used for the manufacture
of barrels, however, is now brought
from Western Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan aud Wisconsin, and, as the sup
ply is constantly decreasing there,
the difficulty and expense OF obtain
ing the timber is increasing. The
inventors for this process for making
the barrels say that the weeds and
rank grasses which grow on the
meadows lying between jersey City
aud Newark will produce an excel
lent pulp for this purpose, and that
thus these practically waste lands
may be made productive aud protn'
BILE. The cost of manufacturing the
paper barrels is no greater than that
of making the wooden article, and,
with The patent machine, It is said
that two men can produce gu bar
rels iu day.

Paris has been enlivened lately by
two original entertainments. One
was q birds head dinner party, at
which one of the ladies had her
head arranged to represent that of
peacock, with the crest represented
by an aigrette in diamonds, emeralds
and sapphires. The most original
head was that of an owl, and the
most tasteful that Of a turtledove.
The other entertainment was
bezique party, at which the game
was not played, but was represented
by the guests who we're dressed as
pack OF cards. Care had been taken
to have the king aud queen of each
suit represented by married couple
so that uniformity of costume could
be preserved. The queen of hearts
was arrayed in ruby velvet and rose
colored satin, and the queen Of clubs
in black velvet and silver tissue.
The guests who personated the com
mon cards Of the pack were dressed
either in black or scarlet, the gen
tlemen each having the card fastened
to a lapel of the coat, while each
lady wore hers attached to her cor
sage. Both entertainments were
great success in every way.

ITALIAN WITCHCRAFT.
Curious Things Recommended for
Purposes OF LucE-A Strange
Case,

From such persons you may hear
that il anyone takes the eggs out of a
ravens nest, boils them so as to rem
der them incapable of incubation
ard replaces them, the parent birds
will fly 10 a brook and fetch thence
a white stone the size and shape of
the eggs. The stone, they say, it
places carefully among the eggs, aud
then sits on eggs and stones together.
The stone restores vitality to. the
eggs, and after the brood is hedged
aud flown it is left behind in the
nest 1t has, however, suffered a
great change. 1t is now semi trans
parent, and in every respect, except
its weight and hardness, is exactly
like an egg. IT it be placed near
any poisoned food the yelk begins to
move violently and thus warns the
fortunate posses,or of his danger.
The lapwing is even more given to
sorcery. 1t always deposits a stone
the size of pea in its nest. What
use it is to the bird or its family no
one seems to know, but if anyone
finds it and places it under the pill
low of sleeping person he will an

with perfect truth in the language
in which it is asked. The marvel
GUS stories told of serpents are innu-
merable. There is one about a yard
in length and as thick as the upper
part of strong mans arm, whlch
haunts dry wooded places. 1t is so
venomous, especially in May, that
not only will the first person it bites
in that mouth die himself, but any
one stands beside or comes to help
him will share the same fate. II he
falls beneath tree, that, too, or if 1t
be very large, at least one-half of it
will be killed. Again, serpents of
all kinds are very fond of milk. In
the old days, before the railway was
built, a coachman who used to drive
on the road between Foggil and
Naples once fell asleep outside
little inn while his horses were bait
ing His mouth was open and
snake crept down his throat. After
this he felt nuuweil, though he did
not know why. and none Of the doc
tors could tell whatwas the matt
with him. At last he consulted the
professors of the University of
Naples They hung him up by the
feet aud placed a great bowl of milk
beneath his head. The snake, at
traeted by the smell, crept out to
drink, but still kept a great part of
its body in the mouth and throat of
the coachman. A young doctor
sprang forward, pulled it out aud
threw it away, when it was Killed.

2 PRINCESS PATTERN
THAT COMMENDS ITSELF TO
MANY LADIES,
And Is Considered Very StyIsh-ven.
tilated Kid Gloves for Dancers
New Styles.

lsrKoIAL coRRRsPoEDESoE or rHE ArrEAL.l
New YORK, February 25.-This
week a pretty Princess pattern has
been portrayed in the illustration,
and think this neat model, although
very plain and simple, will commend
itself to very great many ladies as
a house dress-an informal costume
for wear indoors, which is still not
unsuitable for the reception Of occa-
sional visitors.
Its development, so far as the ma
terial is concerned, is entirely a mat
ter of taste, but / would suggest fine
lady's cloth as the most appropriate
material at this time of the year.
The trimming consists principally
of braid applique work, which is
stitched along the edges of two wide
velvet borders down the entire front
of the costume. 1t is a popularity
of the Princess style of costume that
the trimming should uniformly ex-
tend from the waist portion over the
skirt The collar is also Of velvet,
and pointed cuffs of the same grace
the wrists. No buttons are to be seen
on any portion Of the costume, which
is fastened invisibly.
